    23. i know many trekkies
    will hate this but I agree that DS9 was better than TNG especially the last few season of DS9. Close but DS9 squeeks out, IMO.

    18. It is
    But very rarely. The actor who does Spaceghost was on "The Majority Report" the other night, and he says they were only able to do six brand new episodes last year. Apparently when CNN was sold to AOL Time Warner there was a shakeup and Spaceghost is only on once in awhile now. Too bad. They have started to sell old episodes on DVD though. You can buy 'em on amazon.com.

    33. Alright, I'll do this
    Edited on Thu Apr-15-04 12:45 AM by UnAmericanJoe
    Because my ball club just lost another freakin game in the 9th inning.
    :mad:

    But I can't order them and bear in mind that this is a list of my favorite shows, not necessarily the ones I consider the best.

    1. Seinfeld (My atf)

    2. The Outer Limits (always preferred over Twilight Zone)

    3. Fawlty Towers (only twelve episodes, but how terrific it was! I love farce)

    4. Three's Company (What can I say, I love John Ritter. I'm not the only one)

    5. "It's Garry Shandling's Show" (This show is soooo overlooked IMO. Of course not everyone can take Garry, but for fans this show was a perfect venue for his humor and actually was pretty smart in it's own way. Plus that theme song rocked.)

    6. Law and Order (Flagship only and only the first 5 or 6 seasons. I find SVU to be a major bummer and I just can't keep up when I watch Criminal Intent.)

    7. Newsradio (Another overlooked gem and not just for Phil Hartman. One of the better ensemble casts ever. Andy Dick and Dave Foley were great on the show.

    8. Kids in the Hall (My sketch comedy selection. I went back and forth between this and Mr. Show but decided that KITH left a more lasting impression on me.)

    9. Perfect Strangers (It's not something I'm very proud of but I'm a sucker for this particular brand of humor. Mark Linn-Baker's portrayal of the neuroticly negative Larry Appleton is very good and the physical comedy is great.)

    10. The X-Files (Okay, so it whimpered out like a wounded puppy, at it's peak it was the best sci-fi ever shown on television. IMO)

    There are many more but those are the 10 I can come up with now. I tried to mix in current fav's and classics.
